Last night we showed up to the station and access to the building was restricted because of the Pan Am games. it made me think of the opening song because you say hi to welcome the international athletes but the joke is on the domestic population because you have to pay for it and put up with the circus of the games. The field hockey pitch is restricted by high fences and circus like tents. Download last night's show here. ZYNTHSLAKT - Hi, Hi, Ha, Ha (Self-Released)
